Backstory:
Noteworthy Merit is a band that came to life in the bustling city of Seattle in 2010. It all started when four childhood friends, Mike, Leonard, Stella, and Nick, who shared a mutual love for music decided to turn their regular garage jamming sessions into something more substantial. With Mike on guitar, Leonard on drums, Stella on piano, and Nick, the band’s charismatic lead singer, ‘Noteworthy Merit’ was born. As they began to perform in local pubs and events, they quickly garnered a reputation for their distinct and eclectic sound.
Genre:
Noteworthy Merit primarily plays Alternative Rock, but is known for mixing elements from other genres like folk and blues, creating an unusual yet mesmerising auditory experience.
Title:
“Edge of a Dream”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Woke up this morning, [D] to the echoes of your name,
[Em] Silence in the wind, [C] whispering tales of yesterday,
[G] Threadbare stories, [D] frayed around the seams,
[Em] We’re straddling the middle, [C] at the edge of a dream.
(Chorus)
[G] Take me back to the place where [D] the wildflowers bloom,
[Em] Where the stars break the night, [C] and the moon plays the tune,
[G] Let’s live in the echoes, [D] and the tales of the unseen,
[Em] Straddling the middle, [C] at the edge of a dream.
(Verse 2)
[G] Caught up in the currents, [D] of a time we can’t regain,
[Em] Chasing shadows, [C] in an endless, ceaseless game,
[G] We’re the poets, [D] the dreamers, in a world that’s supreme,
[Em] Straddling the middle, [C] at the edge of a dream.
(Repeat Chorus)
